Ellouise Turns 2!!

I really can't believe our sweet little Ellouise is 2 now. It seems just like yesterday when my epidural didn't work and I had the opportunity to experience "real" childbirth. Oh but what a sweet, fun and loving girl she has become. We love her so much and are so thankful to have her in our family.
We of course like every birthday started it off with going into her room and signing happy birthday to her. Evelyn was so excited for this part, she even came and got us out of bed. She opened a few gifts and got lots of hugs and kisses.


We had to do a Winnie-the-Pooh party cause if you know Ellouise then you know how attached she is to her "winnie" and can't sleep at all with out it.
A little dance party with a bunch of kids we had over from church.


The night before we had a family celebration.

My attempt at a Winnie-the-Pooh cake. Four candles since we were celebrating four birthdays in the Koester family.





Grandma K gave each of the girls a darling pink princess dress.

It was a wonderful birthday and I am truly grateful for our sweet Ellouise. She has such a sweet personality and she is so fun. I love watching her and Evelyn have so much fun together and begin making memories as great sisters!
